Software Developer

2017 - 2017
Delmic (via Toptal)
  • Implemented the reading of tiled images and sub-images from TIFF files on PyLibtiff.
  • Implemented on-demand loading of large TIFF files on Odemis, a software for visualizing microscope images.
  • Implemented a plugin for Odemis to align microscope images from different sources, using OpenCV matching algorithms.
  • Implemented automated tests for all developed features.
Technologies: Linux, OpenCV, C, NumPy, Python

Co-founder and Software Developer

2015 - 2017
E&P Brazil
  • Built business intelligence software from design phase to launch.
  • Developed architecture to allow adding new types of information with minimum programming.
  • Created a tool that allows users to dynamically create charts to visualize data with Google Charts.
  • Developed visualization of geolocated objects using Google Maps.
  • Built TypeScript interfaces for all network communication between the client and server. It allows the TypeScript compiler to check consistency in the data structures that are passed between the client and the server.
  • Wrote unit, functional, and Selenium tests.
Technologies: Google Chart API, Google Maps, Docker, MySQL, Express.js, React, Node.js, TypeScript

Software Developer

2009 - 2016
Tecgraf
  • Led the architecture design of a finite element method physics simulator.
  • Worked on a 3D seismic visualizer using OpenGL.
  • Led the group that implemented automatic testing, tool selection, and process determination.
  • Developed on-demand loading of large seismic files. The startup of the software after loading a large file changed from several minutes to seconds.
  • Led the adoption of an object-oriented approach for the development of common GUI elements in the system.
  • Developed an algorithm for riser interference detection with complexity of O(n log n + m log m). The previous algorithm had O(n2 + m2) complexity.
  • Analyzed a poorly documented and engineered 25-year-old FORTRAN code, and converted it to a well structured, object-oriented C++ code.
